Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
1ο πρεσβυτεροσ γαιω τω αγαπητω ον εγω αγαπω εν αληθεια
2Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
2αγαπητε περι παντων ευχομαι σε ευοδουσθαι και υγιαινειν καθωσ ευοδουται σου η ψυχη
3For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
3εχαρην γαρ λιαν ερχομενων αδελφων και μαρτυρουντων σου τη αληθεια καθωσ συ εν αληθεια περιπατεισ
4I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
4μειζοτεραν τουτων ουκ εχω χαραν ινα ακουω τα εμα τεκνα εν αληθεια περιπατουντα
5Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
5αγαπητε πιστον ποιεισ ο εαν εργαση εισ τουσ αδελφουσ και εισ τουσ ξενουσ
6They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
6οι εμαρτυρησαν σου τη αγαπη ενωπιον εκκλησιασ ουσ καλωσ ποιησεισ προπεμψασ αξιωσ του θεου
7because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
7υπερ γαρ του ονοματοσ εξηλθον μηδεν λαμβανοντεσ απο των εθνων
8We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8ημεισ ουν οφειλομεν απολαμβανειν τουσ τοιουτουσ ινα συνεργοι γινωμεθα τη αληθεια
9I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
9εγραψα τη εκκλησια αλλ ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων διοτρεφησ ουκ επιδεχεται ημασ
10Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
10δια τουτο εαν ελθω υπομνησω αυτου τα εργα α ποιει λογοισ πονηροισ φλυαρων ημασ και μη αρκουμενοσ επι τουτοισ ουτε αυτοσ επιδεχεται τουσ αδελφουσ και τουσ βουλομενουσ κωλυει και εκ τησ εκκλησιασ εκβαλλει
11Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
11αγαπητε μη μιμου το κακον αλλα το αγαθον ο αγαθοποιων εκ του θεου εστιν ο κακοποιων ουχ εωρακεν τον θεον
12Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
12δημητριω μεμαρτυρηται υπο παντων και υπ αυτησ τησ αληθειασ και ημεισ δε μαρτυρουμεν και οιδατε οτι η μαρτυρια ημων αληθησ εστιν
13I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
13πολλα ειχον γραφειν αλλ ου θελω δια μελανοσ και καλαμου σοι γραψαι
14but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
14ελπιζω δε ευθεωσ ιδειν σε και στομα προσ στομα λαλησομεν ειρηνη σοι ασπαζονται σε οι φιλοι ασπαζου τουσ φιλουσ κατ ονομα
